Su Yue reached out and gently touched Wang Xiaohua's wrist, her voice full of concern, "Second sister-in-law, you don't need to care about those gossips."
She had heard countless unpleasant things since she was a child, but even so, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Liu Meili's sharp tongue, Su Xiaomei's meanness, and the gossip of some people in the village.
Wang Xiaohua looked up, her gaze falling on Su Yue's face, and forced a smile that was more like a grimace. "That's why I said I was incredibly stupid. Why did I ruin my body for those baseless rumors?"
Su Yue didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, it's too late to say anything now.
It's not too late!
She suddenly remembered that the old woman had said that living here with Fu Shen would ruin their good fortune and prevent Wang Xiaohua from having children.
Thinking of this, Su Yue pursed her lips, "Second sister-in-law, how about Fu Shen and I go and stay somewhere else?"
She knew in her heart that Wang Xiaohua and Wu Guoliang must be eagerly hoping to have a child of their own, otherwise they wouldn't go to the doctor every month without fail.
Wang Xiaohua was taken aback, and a hint of doubt flashed in her originally dim eyes. Weren't they talking about her?
"Why are you suddenly moving again?" she couldn't help but ask.
Su Yue glanced at the gate, "That old lady just said..."
Wang Xiaohua smiled gently and interrupted Su Yue: "Don't pay attention to her. That's an old-fashioned way of thinking. They think that when a daughter and son-in-law come back to her parents' home, the couple shouldn't stay in the same room, as it will bring bad luck to her family. Especially if there are unmarried brothers in the family, they definitely shouldn't stay together. She's thinking that if Fu Shen comes back and doesn't stay at her home, and Guo Liang and I don't have children, it will affect us. Little does she know that I'll never be able to have children in this life, so why would I care about that?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I've almost poured out all my bitterness over the years to you."
Su Yue smiled sincerely and said softly, "It's okay, I'm willing to listen."
Wang Xiaohua smiled too. Her life was destined to be bitter, but she hoped that Fu Shen and Su Yue's lives would be beautiful.
On Fu Shen's side.
Wu Guoliang recounted all the details of the past years in one breath, then vigorously rubbed his face with both hands.
Then, he stared intently at Fu Shen and said seriously and solemnly, "The children you and your sister-in-law have from now on will be my and your second sister-in-law's children."
Zhang Hongying ruined Wang Xiaohua's body like this, and at first she pretended to be innocent.
She hypocritically said that she would give her four-year-old third son to them as compensation, and she innocently said that she didn't know why things had turned out this way. Others who drank the folk remedy she gave them were fine and soon gave birth to a big, healthy boy.
Her three sons were raised to be more stubborn than the donkey in the next village.
Especially the third one, who throws down his chopsticks and smashes his bowl after three days without meat. He and Wang Xiaohua are not worthy of such a son.
But it was because of him that they came to know Zhang Hongying's "good intentions".
Wang Xiaohua was in poor health, so he cooked egg drop soup for her every day and sometimes asked someone to buy a little bit of pork just for her.
Once, his third nephew saw that he didn't get any, so he said matter-of-factly, "Second Uncle, my mother said that Second Aunt can't have children anymore, so everything in your house belongs to me. Now Second Aunt's meat soup is all mine, so why are you still giving it to her?"
At the time, Zhang Hongying was washing vegetables outside the kitchen door. When she heard her youngest son say this, she wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Wu Guoliang was holding a bowl of meat soup when his hand suddenly trembled, and the bowl fell to the ground with a "crack".
His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze at Zhang Hongying was filled with rage, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Knowing that her plan had been exposed, Zhang Hongying worried that Wu Guoliang would harm her youngest son, so she quickly called him out loudly.
But her youngest son ignored it, squatted down and picked up the small pieces of meat that had fallen on the ground and stuffed them into his mouth. After he finished eating, he reached out and tugged at Wu Guoliang's trouser leg, raised his head and said, "Don't chop the meat so small next time."
Unable to contain his anger any longer, Wu Guoliang slammed his foot down and roared, "Get out of here!"
Zhang Hongying saw her son fall to the side and immediately screamed. Her sharp voice attracted the attention of Wu Zhongjian and his son Wu Guoan.
When Wu Guoan saw his son being kicked aside and crying, Zhang Hongying added fuel to the fire, saying that Wu Guoliang had kicked him. The two brothers immediately started fighting.
Such a fierce fight destroyed the brotherhood they had built up over the years.
